The details > of the technical task had found by < the present inventor
In environment this great society trend of preserving our planet, the importance for reducing the electronic utility of environmental pressure gradually increases
Plus.Wherein, power device(Power semiconductor)For rolling stock, hybrid vehicle, the inverter of electric automobile or
The power supply of the civil equipments such as the inverter of air-conditioning, computer, the performance improvement of power device is for basic system and civil equipment
Electrical efficiency improve tool and have very great help.Improve the energy money that electrical efficiency is meant to required for the work of reduction system
Source, in other words, can cut down the discharge capacity of carbon dioxide, i.e. can reduce environmental pressure.Therefore, it is prevailing right in each company
The research and development of the performance improvement of power device.
Generally, power device and large scale integrated circuit(LSI(Large Scale Integration))Similarly, with
Silicon is material.But, in recent years, the band gap carborundum bigger than silicon(SiC)Just receive publicity.SiC is larger due to band gap, so absolutely
Edge punctures pressure 10 times or so for silicon.It follows that the device with SiC as material can compared with the device with Si as material
Make thickness relatively thin, its result is that resistance value during conducting is greatly reduced(Conduction resistance value)Ron.Therefore, with SiC as material
The device of material can significantly cut down the conduction loss (Ron × i of the product representation with resistance value Ron Yu conducting electric current i2), can be right
The improvement tool of electrical efficiency has very great help.It is conceived to such feature, at home and abroad, using bis- pole of MOSFET, Xiao Te of SiC
The exploitation of pipe and junction type FET develops.
Especially, it is conceived to switching device, the junction type FET with SiC as material(JFET)Commercialization develop rapidly.The knot
Type FET compared with the MOSFET with SiC as material, for example, due to the gate insulating film that need not be made up of silicon oxide film, so
Can avoid with the defect on the interface of silicon oxide film and SiC and element characteristic associated therewith deteriorating the problem as representative.Separately
Outward, junction type FET can control the on/off grown to control raceway groove of the depletion layer based on pn-junction, therefore, it is possible to easily divide
Open the junction type FET of the junction type FET and open type that make closed type.Like this, the junction type FET with SiC as material with SiC as material
The MOSFET of material is compared, also excellent in terms of long-term reliability, in addition, the feature with easy making devices.
In the junction type FET with SiC as material, the junction type FET of open type generally also makes raceway groove turn on and streaming current,
When needing to make channel cutoff, negative voltage is applied to gate electrode, make depletion layer from pn-junction grow and by channel cutoff.Therefore, in knot
In the case that type FET is damaged because of some reasons, raceway groove is in the conduction state and electric current constant flow.Generally, from safety(Therefore
Barrier protection:fail safe)From the viewpoint of, expect not making electric current flowing in the case where junction type FET is damaged, but in open type
Junction type FET in, even if the electric current also constant flow in the case where junction type FET is damaged, so purposes is limited to.Therefore, from
From the viewpoint of error protection, the junction type FET of closed type is expected.
But, the junction type FET of closed type has following technical task.That is, the gate electrode of junction type FET and source region difference
With by p-type semiconductor region(Gate electrode)And n-type semiconductor region(Source region)The pn-junction diode configuration of composition, because
This, when the voltage between gate electrode and source region is 3V or so, the parasitic diode between gate electrode and source region is led
It is logical.Its result is there is the flowing between gate electrode and source region to have the situation of high current, thus, causes junction type FET excessive
Heating and may be breakdown.It follows that the switch element in order to junction type FET to be used as closed type, expects to limit grid voltage
It is made as the low-voltage of 2.5V or so, and two in the state of parasitic diode is not turned on or between gate electrode and source region
It is used in the state of pole pipe electric current is fully little.Additionally, in the common MOSFET with Si as material, apply 0 to 15V or
The grid voltage of 20V or so.Therefore, for the junction type FET using closed type, need the raster data model electricity in existing MOSFET
On the basis of road, the reduction voltage circuit of the voltage for generating 2.5V or so is added(DC/DC transducers), and level shifting circuit etc..Should
The additional cost increase that system can be caused overall of design alteration, i.e. part.It can thus be appreciated that, although junction type FET is with long-term
The feature of excellent and easy to manufacture in terms of reliability, but due to drive grid voltage it is significantly different with common MOSFET, institute
In the case where newly junction type FET is utilized, to need the larger design alteration comprising drive circuit etc., accordingly, there exist system
The technical task of overall cost increase.
, there is cascade Connection mode in the method as the technical task is solved.The cascade Connection mode refers to and with SiC will be
In the way of the junction type FET of the open type of material and the low pressure MOSFET by Si as material are connected in series.When being connected using such
When connecing mode, gate driver circuit drives low pressure MOSFET, therefore need not change gate driver circuit.On the other hand, leak
Pressure between pole and source electrode can be determined by the characteristic of junction type FET of insulation high pressure.And, carrying out cascade Connection
In the case of, as the low on-resistance of the low on-resistance and low pressure MOSFET of junction type FET is connected in series, so also can be by
The conducting resistance of the switch element of cascade Connection suppresses less.Like this, cascade Connection mode has and often can solve the problem that
The probability of the problem points of the junction type FET of closed form.
Fig. 1 is the circuit structure diagram for representing the switch element for employing cascade Connection mode.As shown in figure 1, employing level
The switch element of connection connected mode is the junction type FETQ1 and closed type that open type is connected in series between source S and drain D
The structure of MOSFETQ2.Specifically, junction type FETQ1 is configured with drain D side, be configured with MOSFETQ2 in source S side.Also
It is to say, source S j of junction type FETQ1 is connected with drain D m of MOSFETQ2, source S m of MOSFETQ2 and the source electrode of switch element
S connects.In addition, the gate electrode Gj of junction type FETQ1 is connected with the source S of switch element, the gate electrode Gm of MOSFETQ2 and grid
Drive circuit(It is not shown)Connection.
Additionally, as shown in figure 1, being connected with fly-wheel diode with MOSFETQ2 reverse parallel connections.The fly-wheel diode has
Make reverse current backflow and the exergonic function in inductance will be accumulated.That is, in the switch element shown in Fig. 1 and comprising inductance
Load connect in the case of, when switch element is disconnected, the inductance due to being contained in load is produced and the electricity of MOSFETQ2
Stream flow direction is rightabout reverse current.It follows that by two pole of afterflow is arranged with MOSFETQ2 reverse parallel connections
Pipe, makes reverse current backflow and discharges the energy accumulated in inductance.
Such connected mode is cascade Connection mode, according to the switch element for employing cascade Connection mode, first, grid
Pole drive circuit(It is not shown)The gate electrode Gm of MOSFETQ2 is driven, advantages below is accordingly, there exist:It is not needed upon MOSFET
The change that monomer is used as the situation of switch element and carries out to gate driver circuit.
It is additionally, since junction type FETQ1 and compares silicon using band gap(Si)It is big with carborundum(SiC)For represent material as material
Material, so the pressure increase of the insulation of junction type FETQ1.It follows that the switch element of cascade Connection is pressure main by tying
The characteristic of type FETQ1 is determined.Therefore, it is possible to the resistance to pressure ratio of insulation for making to require the MOSFETQ2 being connected in series with junction type FETQ1
Switch element using MOSFET monomers is low.That is, even if in the case where needing insulation pressure as switch element, it is also possible to
Will be low pressure(For example, tens of V or so)MOSFET be used as MOSFETQ2.Therefore, it is possible to reduce the conducting resistance of MOSFETQ2.
It is additionally, since junction type FETQ1 to be made up of the junction type FET of open type, so can also reduce the conducting resistance of junction type FETQ1.Its
As a result it is, according to the switch element of cascade engagement, there is the design alteration for not needing gate driver circuit, and
And, the reduction guaranteed with conducting resistance of insulation patience can be realized simultaneously, thereby, it is possible to seek semiconductor element(Switch unit
Part)Electrical characteristics raising.
In addition, as shown in figure 1, the junction type FETQ1 of cascade Connection for open type junction type FETQ1, junction type FETQ1 grid electricity
Pole Gj is electrically connected with the source S of switch element.Its result is that the voltage between the gate electrode Gj of junction type FETQ1 and source S is being opened
Guan Shi(During conducting)Also will not forward bias.It follows that in cascade Connection, having based on junction type FETQ1 due to flowing
Parasitic diode high current, it is possible to suppress based on excessive heating and cause switch element to puncture.That is, in closed type
In junction type FET, in switch(During conducting), positive voltage is applied to gate electrode Gj relative to source S.Now, the source of junction type FETQ1
Polar region domain is formed by n-type semiconductor region, and gate electrode Gj is formed by p-type semiconductor region, accordingly, with respect to source S to grid electricity
Pole Gj applies positive voltage it is meant that applying forward voltage between source region and gate electrode Gj(Forward bias).Therefore, normal
In the junction type FET of closed form, if excessively increasing forward voltage, two pole of parasitism being made up of source region and gate electrode Gj can be caused
Pipe is turned on.Its result is there is the flowing between gate electrode Gj and source region to have the situation of high current, with junction type FET mistakes
Degree generates heat and causes the probability of corrupted.In contrast, in the switch element of cascade Connection, using the junction type of open type
FETQ1, gate electrode Gj are electrically connected with the source S of switch element.It follows that between the gate electrode Gj and source S of junction type FETQ1
Voltage switch when(During conducting)Also will not forward bias.Therefore, in cascade Connection, have based on junction type due to flowing
The high current of the parasitic diode of FETQ1, it is possible to suppressing to cause switch element to puncture based on excessive heating.
Like this, the switch element of cascade Connection has above-mentioned various advantages, but studies through the present inventor, as a result
New discovery techniques illustrated below problem.That is, in order to realize cascade Connection, need to be formed with junction type by welding lead
The semiconductor chip of FETQ1 and it is formed with the semiconductor chip of low pressure MOSFETQ2 and couples together.Thus, for example, low resistance to
Source S j of drain D m and junction type FETQ1 of the MOSFETQ2 of pressure connects via welding lead.In this case, the present inventor is new
It was found that, the stray inductance based on welding lead is attached with source S j of junction type FETQ1.When being attached with such stray inductance
When, big surge voltage is produced during switch, thus, the voltage being applied with low pressure MOSFETQ2 more than pressure.Its result
For with avalanche mode action, the flowing in low pressure MOSFETQ2 is had and cannot be controlled with gate electrode Gm low pressure MOSFETQ2
The high current of system and component breakdown may be caused.Hereinafter, describe its mechanism in detail.
Mechanism of production > of < technical tasks

Here, existing based on welding lead between drain D m1 of source S j1 and MOSFETQ2a of junction type FETQ1a

Voltage Vdsu is defined as, the voltage between the source S 1 and drain D m1 of MOSFETQ2a of switch element is defined as into voltage
Vdsmu。
Similarly, such as Fig. 2(a)Shown, lower route the switch element connected between drain D 2 and source S 2 and constitutes.
The switch element for constituting lower branch road is made up of the junction type FETQ1b and MOSFETQ2b of cascade Connection.Specifically, junction type FETQ1b
Drain D j2 be connected with the drain D 2 of switch element, source S j2 of junction type FETQ1b is connected with drain D m2 of MOSFETQ2b.
And, source S m2 of MOSFETQ2b is connected with the source S 2 of switch element.In addition, the gate electrode Gj2 of junction type FETQ1b with open
The source S 2 for closing element connects, and between the source S 2 of the gate electrode Gm2 and switch element of MOSFETQ2b is connected with raster data model
Circuit(G/D).And, load inductance LL is connected between the drain D 2 of the source S 2 and switch element of switch element.
Here, existing based on welding lead between drain D m2 of source S j2 and MOSFETQ2b of junction type FETQ1b
Stray inductance Lse2, is present based on welding lead between the source S 2 of the gate electrode Gj2 and switch element of junction type FETQ1b
Stray inductance Lgi2.Additionally, Fig. 2's(a)In, by the voltage between the drain D 2 of the source S 2 and switch element of switch element
Voltage Vak is defined as, the voltage between the source S 2 and drain D m2 of MOSFETQ2b of switch element is defined as into voltage
Vdsmd。
The inverter of the switch element of cascade Connection is make use of to constitute as described above, below, explanation should
The action of inverter, illustrates the mechanism of production of technical task.First, illustrate the switching elements ON of composition upper branch road
Situation.That is, explanation is by constituting the switching elements ON of upper branch road, on the other hand disconnecting the switch element for constituting lower branch road
And to load(Comprising load inductance)Apply the situation of supply voltage.
Fig. 2's(b)Show the waveform in the case of by the switching elements ON of branch road in composition.Specifically, when
During by constituting the switching elements ON of upper branch road, the junction type FETQ1a and MOSFETQ2a conducting due to constituting upper branch road, so returning
Stream electric current in drain D j1 from junction type FETQ1a, drain D m1 via MOSFETQ2a and source S m1, flow through load inductance LL
And flow in returning to the path of power supply VCC.Now, such as Fig. 2(b)Shown, it is left that voltage Vdsmu is changed to 0V from assigned voltage
The right side, on the other hand, voltage Vak from the switch element by upper branch road disconnect when 0V rise to the voltage of supply voltage or so.Its
As a result it is that the drain voltage of the MOSFETQ2b of lower branch road is that voltage Vdsmd is risen to the junction type FETQ1b cut-offs of lower branch road
Voltage, after the junction type FETQ1b cut-offs of lower branch road, maintains certain constant voltage.The change of voltage Vdsmd is to can ignore that to post
The change of the perfect condition of raw inductance, such as Fig. 2(b)Dotted line shown in.However, working as stray inductance Lse2 or stray inductance Lgi2
During increase, such as Fig. 2(b)It is shown in solid, voltage Vdsmd is drastically significantly gone up in the switching elements ON by upper branch road
Rise.
On the other hand, Fig. 2(c)Show the waveform in the case that the switch element for constituting upper branch road is disconnected.Specifically
For, when the switch element for constituting upper branch road is disconnected, such as Fig. 2(c)Shown, voltage Vdsmd is changed to from assigned voltage
0V or so, on the other hand, voltage Vdsu from switching elements ON by upper branch road when 0V rise to the electricity of supply voltage or so
Pressure.Its result is that the drain voltage of the MOSFETQ2a of upper branch road is that voltage Vdsmu is risen to the junction type FETQ1a of upper branch road
The voltage of cut-off, after the junction type FETQ1a cut-offs of upper branch road, maintains certain constant voltage.The change of voltage Vdsmu is can
Ignore the change of the perfect condition of stray inductance, such as Fig. 2(c)Dotted line shown in.However, working as stray inductance Lse1 or parasitic electricity
When sense Lgi1 increases, such as Fig. 2(c)It is shown in solid, voltage Vdsmu by upper branch road switch element disconnect when, drastically show
Write ground to rise.
Like this, it is known that in the case of by the switching elements ON of upper branch road, the lower branch road of disconnection can be produced
The drain voltage of MOSFETQ2b is the phenomenon that voltage Vdsmd steeply rises, in the situation that the switch element by upper branch road disconnects
Under, the drain voltage phenomenon that i.e. voltage Vdsmu steeply rises of the MOSFETQ2a of the upper branch road of disconnection can be produced.Due to these
The mechanism of production of phenomenon is identical, so below, is conceived to the situation of the switching elements ON of upper branch road, illustrates lower for disconnecting
The drain voltage of the MOSFETQ2b on road is the mechanism of production of the phenomenon that voltage Vdsmd steeply rises.As the generation machine of the phenomenon
Reason, it is considered to three kinds of mechanism shown below.
1st mechanism is, the phenomenon is by being present in source S j2 of the junction type FETQ1b for constituting lower branch road and constitute lower branch road
MOSFETQ2b drain D m2 between stray inductance Lse2 cause.Specifically, the switch element of upper branch road is being connect
When logical, the MOSFETQ2b cut-offs of lower branch road.Now, voltage Vak starts to increase from 0V or so, with the increase of voltage Vak,
The drain voltage of the MOSFETQ2b of lower branch road is that voltage Vdsmd also begins to increase.But, in the initial rank that voltage Vdsmd increases
Section, voltage Vdsmd will not go out more than setting than the grid voltage for putting on the gate electrode Gj2 of junction type FETQ1b greatly, therefore, knot
Type FETQ1b will not end, and electric current flows from drain D j2 of junction type FETQ1b to source S j2.Its result is that electric current is flowed into
Accumulation in drain D m2 of MOSFETQ2b has electric charge.It follows that the drain voltage of MOSFETQ2b is voltage Vdsmd rising.
Then, voltage Vdsmd continues to rise, when the grid voltage than junction type FETQ1b goes out more than setting greatly, junction type FETQ1b
Cut-off, electric current further will not be flowed.That is, the starting stage increased in voltage Vdsmd, electric current is junction type FETQ1b's
Flow between drain D j2 and source S j2, the accumulation in drain D m2 of MOSFETQ2b has electric charge, therefore voltage Vdsmd increases.
Then, with the increase of voltage Vdsmd, voltage Vdsmd is gone out greatly more than setting with the grid voltage become than junction type FETQ1b
Size state be close to, therefore, the electric current flowed in drain D j2 and source S j2 of junction type FETQ1b is gradually decreased.So
Afterwards, finally, voltage Vdsmd goes out greatly more than setting than the grid voltage of junction type FETQ1b, so as to junction type FETQ1b is ended.
After junction type FETQ1b cut-offs, do not have electric charge to flow into drain D m2 of MOSFETQ2b, voltage Vdsmd constants.
Like this, in the switching elements ON by upper branch road, the MOSFETQ2b cut-offs of lower branch road, but in the stage, under
The junction type FETQ1b of branch road will not be immediately turned off, and electric current flows from drain D j2 of junction type FETQ1b to source S j2.And, flow into
Flow into drain D m2 of MOSFETQ2b to the electric current in source S j2 of junction type FETQ1b via stray inductance Lse2.Now,
The starting point is that the electric current flowed to source S j2 from drain D j2 of the junction type FETQ1b of lower branch road is reduced.It means that to posting
The electric current of raw inductance Lse2 flowings was reduced also with the time.Its result is cancellation current to be produced in stray inductance Lse2 and is subtracted
Few such electromotive force.That is, stray inductance Lse2 is so that the electric current flowed from drain D j2 of junction type FETQ1b to source S j2 increases
Plus mode function.Therefore, when stray inductance Lse2 increases, transiently drain D j2 from junction type FETQ1b is to source
Sj2 flowings in pole have high current.Its result is that the electric charge flowed into drain D m2 of MOSFETQ2b is sharply increased, thus, voltage
Vdsmd is sharply increased.Which is the 1st mechanism.
Then, the 2nd mechanism is, the phenomenon is by being present in the gate electrode Gj2 of the junction type FETQ1b for constituting lower branch road with
What stray inductance Lgi2 between the source S 2 of branch road caused.Specifically, in the switching elements ON by upper branch road, lower
The MOSFETQ2b cut-offs on road.Now, voltage Vak starts to increase from 0V or so, but for example, such as Fig. 2(b)It is shown, by upper
The starting stage of the switching elements ON on road, voltage Vak are vibrated in the range of more than supply voltage.It is based on by with inverter
The counter electromotive force that the load inductance LL included by the load of connection causes.Therefore, voltage Vak is initial when upper branch road is connected
Stage changes.Here, being conceived to junction type FETQ1b, it is formed between drain D j2 and gate electrode Gj2 of junction type FETQ1b
Parasitic capacitance, when voltage Vak changes, the voltage for putting on the parasitic capacitance also changes.It is additionally, since the parasitism
The electrostatic capacitance value of electric capacity is than larger value, so the discharge and recharge electricity produced with the variation in voltage for putting on parasitic capacitance
Stream also increases.The charging and discharging currents flow between the source S 2 of the gate electrode Gj2 and lower branch road of junction type FETQ1b.Now, fill
Discharge current is time dependent electric current.Thus, for example, when the gate electrode Gj2 in junction type FETQ1b and the source electrode of lower branch road
When there is stray inductance Lgi2 between S2, as time dependent charging and discharging currents flow in stray inductance Lgi2, so
The size and discharge and recharge electricity with stray inductance Lgi2 is produced between the source S 2 of the gate electrode Gj2 and lower branch road of junction type FETQ1b
The proportional resistance components of the product of the time diffusion of stream.Its result is, the source electrode of the gate electrode Gj2 of junction type FETQ1b and lower branch road
S2 will not become same current potential, and the source S 2 for producing the gate electrode Gj2 of junction type FETQ1b relative to lower branch road is on positive voltage direction
The pattern for rising.In this case, as the gate electrode Gj2 of junction type FETQ1b becomes positive voltage, so inhibiting from junction type FETQ1b
Gate electrode Gj2 growth depletion layer, channel region width increase.Therefore, drain D j2 from junction type FETQ1b is to source electrode
The current transition ground increase of Sj2 flowings.Its result is that the electric charge flowed into drain D m2 of MOSFETQ2b is sharply increased, by
This, voltage Vdsmd is sharply increased.Which is the 2nd mechanism.And, according to the 2nd mechanism, due to the gate electrode Gj2 in junction type FETQ1b
In be applied with positive voltage, so in order to junction type FETQ1b is ended, it is necessary to which source S j2 of junction type FETQ1b is applied to compare grid electricity
Pole Gj2 applies the big voltage of situation of 0V.From this viewpoint, the voltage Vdsmd for rising before junction type FETQ1b cut-offs
Increase.
And, the 3rd mechanism is, the phenomenon is by being present in the gate electrode Gj2 of the junction type FETQ1b for constituting lower branch road with
What the dead resistance between the source S 2 of branch road caused.As the explanation in the 2nd mechanism, in the gate electrode of junction type FETQ1b
Flowing between the source S 2 of Gj2 and lower branch road has charging and discharging currents.It follows that when junction type FETQ1b gate electrode Gj2 with
When there is dead resistance between the source S 2 of lower branch road, the flowing in the dead resistance has charging and discharging currents, produces voltage and declines.
Its result is that the source S 2 of the gate electrode Gj2 of junction type FETQ1b and lower branch road will not become same current potential, produce junction type FETQ1b's
Source S 2 patterns that to positive voltage direction rise of the gate electrode Gj2 relative to lower branch road.Thus, in the 3rd mechanism, with the 2nd machine
Manage similarly, as the gate electrode Gj2 of junction type FETQ1b becomes positive voltage, so also inhibits the gate electrode from junction type FETQ1b
The depletion layer of Gj2 growths, the width increase of channel region.Therefore, flow from drain D j2 of junction type FETQ1b to source S j2
The increase of current transition ground.Its result is that the electric charge flowed into drain D m2 of MOSFETQ2b is sharply increased, thus, voltage
Vdsmd is sharply increased.
As described above, according to 1st mechanism related to stray inductance Lse2, stray inductance Lgi2 and dead resistance to
3 mechanism, it is known that voltage Vdsmd is sharply increased.Like this, when stray inductance Lse2, stray inductance Lgi2 and dead resistance increase
When, the drain voltage of the MOSFETQ2b of lower branch road is the pressure voltage above that voltage Vdsmd rises to MOSFETQ2b, by
This, there is snowslide action in the MOSFETQ2b of lower branch road, finally, the MOSFETQ2b of lower branch road may be breakdown.
Specifically, when the voltage more than pressure is applied with MOSFETQ2b, in the inside of MOSFETQ2b, is produced from local
The region that raw electric field is concentrated, produces the hole-electron pair based on ionization by collision in this region in a large number.By a large amount of generations
Hole-electron pair, by source region(N-type semiconductor region), channel formation region(P-type semiconductor region)And drift region(n
Type semiconductor regions)The parasitic npn bipolar transistors conducting of formation.In the unit of parasitic npn bipolar transistors conducting
(MOSFETQ2b)In, flowing has with the uncontrollable high currents of gate electrode Gm2 of MOSFETQ2b and generates heat.Now, due to sending out
Thermal conductivity causes temperature to rise, and the resistance of semiconductor regions reduces, therefore causes the positive feedback of more high current flowing.Its result is, office
Portion's flowing has high current, causes MOSFETQ2b breakdown.The phenomenon is avalanche breakdown.As occurring during avalanche breakdown, meeting
The reliability of semiconductor device is caused to reduce.
Therefore, in present embodiment 1, in order to suppress the reason for becoming avalanche breakdown insulation it is pressure more than voltage to
The applying of MOSFET, implements research in terms of stray inductance and dead resistance is reduced.Hereinafter, illustrate to implement this reality of the research

The technical task > had found by < the present inventor
Next, the new technique problem had found by explanation the present inventor.Figure 32 is the switch unit for representing cascade Connection
The figure of the current path in part.Figure 32's(a)It is the figure of current path when representing connection, Figure 32's(b)When being to represent disconnection
The figure of the current path of the leakage current of flowing.Such as Figure 32(a)It is shown, when connecting, leakage of rated current Id from junction type FETQ1
Flow to the source electrode of MOSFETQ2 pole.That is, rated current Id is from the drain D of the switch element of cascade Connection to source S stream
It is dynamic.Now, the drain voltage of the MOSFETQ2 before MOSFETQ2 cut-offs(The voltage of intermediate node Se)Can be according to MOSFETQ2
The product of conducting resistance and rated current Id obtain.For example, if conducting resistance is 10m Ω and rated current Id is 40A, in the middle of
The voltage of node Se is 0.4V.Drain voltage of the voltage of intermediate node Se for MOSFETQ2, and also for junction type FETQ1's
Source voltage, therefore, the grid voltage of the junction type FETQ1 on the basis of the source voltage of junction type FETQ1 be voltage Vgs for-
0.4V。
In the case where the switch element for making cascade Connection changes from on-state to off-state, such as Figure 32
(a)It is shown, apply the state of 15V from the gate electrode Gm to MOSFETQ2, such as Figure 32(b)Shown, to MOSFETQ2 grid electricity
Pole Gm applies 0V.MOSFETQ2 is due to the MOSFET for closed type, so ending when 0V is applied to gate electrode Gm.
During MOSFETQ2 is ended, in the starting stage, raceway groove fades away, therefore, the drain electrode of MOSFETQ2
Conducting resistance between source electrode is gradually increasing.Junction type FETQ1 used in the switch element of cascade Connection is normally opened
Type, in the starting stage for ending MOSFETQ2, as the voltage Vgs of junction type FETQ1 is -0.4V, so junction type FETQ1 is maintained
Conducting state.It follows that drain electrode of the electric current from junction type FETQ1(For example, in the application of supply voltage 300V, drain voltage
For 300V or so)Flow to the source electrode of junction type FETQ1.Therefore, because the drain voltage of MOSFETQ2(The electricity of intermediate node Se
Pressure)It is the product of the drain current that the conducting resistance that increases with the disappearance of raceway groove and the drain electrode from junction type FETQ1 are flowed into, institute
With the drain voltage of MOSFETQ2(The voltage of intermediate node Se)It is gradually increasing from 0.4V.
Then, when the raceway groove of MOSFETQ2 is wholly absent MOSFETQ2 is completely switched off when, by from junction type FETQ1 flow into
Electric current and intermediate node Se accumulation have electric charge, therefore, the drain voltage of MOSFETQ2(The voltage of intermediate node Se)Enter one
Step rises, and rises to the blanking voltage of junction type FETQ1(For example, 5V~15V or so).When the state is become, junction type FETQ1 cuts
Only, the drain current of junction type FETQ1 does not flow.That is, the drain voltage of MOSFETQ2(The voltage of intermediate node Se)Stop rising,
And maintain the state.
But, the inventors discovered that, in the switch element of cascade Connection, even if in the voltage Vgs of junction type FETQ1
For -5V~-15V or so when, there is also the situation that leakage current Idl flows between the drain electrode of junction type FETQ1 and source electrode.When the leakage
When electric current Idl flows, there is electric charge in intermediate node Se accumulations, therefore, the drain voltage of MOSFETQ2(The electricity of intermediate node Se
Pressure)Rise.It follows that when above-mentioned leakage current Idl increases, the drain voltage of MOSFETQ2(The voltage of intermediate node Se)Can
Can become MOSFETQ2 it is pressure more than(For example, more than 30V)Voltage.Its result is that MOSFETQ2 occurs snowslide action, most
MOSFETQ2 may be caused breakdown eventually.As its countermeasure, as long as using the high-withstand voltage MOSFET of high pressure, it becomes possible to prevent
The probability for stating the avalanche breakdown of MOSFET is raised, but in the case of the MOSFET using high withstand voltage, in order to ensure pressure
Need to be designed to drift layer thicker.Like this, if thickening the thickness of the drift layer of low concentration, cause the electric conduction of MOSFET
Resistance increases, therefore, the problem points that the conduction loss during connection of the switch element that can produce cascade Connection increases.Namely
Say, in order to ensure the high performance of the switch element of cascade Connection, and prevent the avalanche breakdown of MOSFET, need to thickening
Beyond the structure of the drift layer of low concentration, aspect implements research.Therefore, in present embodiment 2, in order to ensure cascade Connection
Switch element high performance, and prevent the avalanche breakdown of MOSFET, research implemented to the device configuration of junction type FET.
Hereinafter, illustrate the device configuration of the junction type FET of the present embodiment 2 obtained from applying research.
The device configuration > of < junction type FET
Figure 33 is the sectional view of the device configuration of the junction type FET for representing present embodiment 2.As shown in figure 33, this embodiment party
The junction type FET of formula 2 has Semiconductor substrate SUBj, is formed with drain electrode DEj at the back side of Semiconductor substrate SUBj.The opposing party
Face, is formed with drift layer DFTj in the interarea side with the back side for opposition side of Semiconductor substrate SUBj, on drift layer DFTj
It is formed with multiple grooves(trench)TR.And, in the respective side and bottom surface of multiple groove TR, it is formed with gate electrode GE(
Referred to as area of grid), it is formed with the way of being clamped between the gate electrode GE of the side and bottom surface that are formed at adjacent trenches TR
Channel formation region.Source region SR is formed with the top of the channel formation region.In such junction type FET for constituting, lead to
The voltage for suppressing to apply to gate electrode GE is crossed, growth of the depletion layer from gate electrode GE is controlled.Thus, when from grid electricity adjacent to each other
On the other hand when the depletion layer of pole GE growths is connected, channel formation region disappears and realizes cut-off state, from adjacent to each other
In the case that the depletion layer of gate electrode GE growth is not connected, forms channel formation region and realize conducting state.
Here, the characteristic point of the junction type FET of present embodiment 2 is, the long CL of raceway groove of channel formation region be 1 μm with
On.In other words, the characteristic point of present embodiment 2 is that the distance between bottom and bottom of gate electrode GE of source region SR is
More than 1 μm.Thus, as the raceway groove that can extend channel formation region is long, it is possible to improving raceway groove when junction type FET is turned on
Electrostatic potential in forming region.It follows that according to present embodiment 2, with the device structure using a length of 0.5 μm or so of raceway groove
Situation about making is compared, and the drain current suppressing for flowing can be obtained less between the drain electrode of junction type FET and source electrode.Like this, make
The long CL of raceway groove be more than 1 μm of advantage be that it is possible to improve cut-off when channel formation region in electrostatic potential and can drop
Low-leakage current, but think that the prolongation of the long CL of raceway groove itself also contributes to the reduction of leakage current.
And, in the case of the device configuration of the junction type FET shown in Figure 33, and Semiconductor substrate SUBj for becoming drain electrode
Compared with the distance between source region SR, Semiconductor substrate SUBj is less with the distance between gate electrode GE.And, in junction type
In the state of FET cut-offs, backward voltage is applied with drift layer DFTj in gate electrode GE(Reverse bias).Its result thinks, closes
The leakage current that flows in junction type FET when cut-off, and between Semiconductor substrate SUBj separated by a distance and source region SR
Mobile phase ratio, mainly as the reverse current between short Semiconductor substrate SUBj and gate electrode GE(Leakage current)And flow
It is dynamic.Therefore, according to present embodiment 2, after junction type FET cut-offs, can be greatly reduced between the drain electrode of junction type FET and source electrode
The leakage current of flowing.It follows that according to present embodiment 2, can suppress by drain electrode and the source electrode in junction type FET when ending
Between the leakage current for flowing and the drain voltage that causes MOSFET rise to voltage more than pressure, thereby, it is possible to effectively prevent
Only there is snowslide action and to ultimately result in MOSFET breakdown in MOSFET.Additionally, the junction type of the groove construction according to Figure 33
FET, as junction type FET can be formed to high-density, so the big switch element of electric current density can be realized certainly.
Then, Figure 34 is the sectional view of other device configurations of the junction type FET for representing present embodiment 2.As shown in figure 34,
Other junction types FET of present embodiment 2 has Semiconductor substrate SUBj, is formed with electric leakage at the back side of Semiconductor substrate SUBj
Pole DEj.On the other hand, in Semiconductor substrate SUBj and the main surface side that the back side is opposition side, drift layer DFTj is formed with,
On drift layer DFTj, multiple gate electrode GEs are formed with the way of separating and imbed.And, between adjacent gate electrode GE
The surface of drift layer DFTj be formed with source region SR.The junction type FET shown in Figure 34 for so constituting is not for groove structure
The so-called longitudinal type junction type FET for making.
In the junction type FET having configuration which, characteristic point lie also in channel formation region the long CL of raceway groove be 1 μm with
On.In other words, characteristic point is the distance between bottom of bottom and the gate electrode GE of source region SR(The long CL of raceway groove)For 1 μm
More than.Thus, as the raceway groove that can extend channel formation region is long, even if so in the junction type FET shown in Figure 34, also can
Electrostatic potential in enough channel formation regions improved when ending.It follows that in the junction type FET shown in Figure 34, with use
The situation of the device configuration that a length of 0.5 μm or so of raceway groove is compared, it is also possible to by what is flowed between the drain electrode of junction type FET and source electrode
Drain current suppressing obtains less.Like this, the advantage for making the long CL of raceway groove be more than 1 μm is, due to improving ditch during cut-off
Electrostatic potential in road forming region and leakage current can be reduced, furthermore, it is believed that the long CL of raceway groove prolongations of itself are also contributed to Lou
The reduction of electric current.
The advantage of the junction type FET shown in Figure 34 is that device configuration simply can reduce manufacturing cost.And, in figure
In junction type FET shown in 33, need to be formed in the side of raceway groove TR by methods such as highly difficult angle-tilt ion injection techniques and lead
Electric type impurity(N-type impurity), in contrast, in the junction type FET shown in Figure 34, it is not necessary to use to form gate electrode GE
Highly difficult angle-tilt ion injection technique, has the advantages that to gate electrode GE the Impurity Distribution high precision for importing.That is, root
According to the junction type FET shown in Figure 34, obtain being able to easily form the advantage of the consistent junction type FET of characteristic.
More than, the invention completed by the present inventor is specifically understood based on embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to
Embodiment is stated, various changes can be carried out in the range of without departing from its main idea certainly.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, illustrate by gate driver circuit(Gate drivers)To drive MOSFET
Gate electrode example, but it is also possible to be configured to by gate driver circuit while driving the gate electrode of junction type FET.The situation
Under, by the gate electrode that junction type FET is controlled with gate driver circuit, the source voltage of junction type FET can be controlled into desired
Level, accordingly, it is capable to access the effect of the surge voltage that can suppress intermediate node.In the case of such a construction, although terminal
Quantity increases, but obtains providing the advantage of more low-loss switch element.
In addition, with regard to the packaged type illustrated in embodiment 1, lead-line configuration is also not limited to this.That is, grid
The allocation position of pole lead, drain lead and source lead can carry out various changes.For example, encapsulation can be installed on
During fitted lining bottom, the lead-line configuration for encapsulating is determined in the way of it can borrow existing lead-line configuration.In this case, it is not necessary to change peace
Fitted lining bottom, it is also possible to suppress the caused cost with design alteration to increase.
And, the layout structure of laminated semiconductor chip is also not limited to the layout knot for especially illustrating in the description

Also do not limit with the construction of MOSFET, various existing constructions can be suitable for.And, the Impurity Distribution of device also can
Freely change.For example, in a mosfet, it is also possible to make the impurity concentration on surface less to prevent punch-through, also, with depth
Direction and be gradually increased the mode implanted dopant of impurity concentration.
Additionally, above-mentioned MOSFET is not limited to the situation for making gate insulating film be formed by oxide-film, it is contemplated that also comprising expansion
Big gate insulating film and the MISFET that formed by dielectric film(Metal Insulator Semiconductor Field Effect
Transistor:Conductor insulator semiconductor fet).That is, in this bright book, using for ease of explanation
The term of MOSFET, but the MOSFET used as the term for being intended to encompass MISFET in this bright book.
In addition, as the metal material of above-mentioned each wire, it is possible to use gold(Au), billon, copper(Cu), copper alloy,
